i wake up to the sound of sheets rustling, i look over and i see Sif sit up in bed and walk to the door still blanketed by my sheet, she dose this in all one swift movement. i hear the slightest creek of the door when i speak "Going somewhere?" even in the dark room i can still see the deep scarlet blush spread across her cheeks
"I was just going to return to my chambers"
"Why don't you wait until morning" i said it as a statement, not a question. i get up myself and slowly walk over to her, she stands there still, either out of fear, or because a part of her wants to stay, maybe its a little bit of both. i take her hand and hold it it mine, rubbing my thumb across it. i brush her hair off her shoulder and gently plant small kisses on it, i feel her shiver beneath my touch, the way she gets goose bumps as my lips graze her skin. she wraps the sheet tighter around herself when my hands reach her waist. "Its nothing i haven't seen before"
"Loki, i am about this much closer to leaving" i whisper in her ear
"You cant get away from me that easily" i guide her back to the bed and lean my forehead against hers, breathing in her sent. i smile and rub my thumb across her cheek "Have i ever told you how beautiful you are?" she laughs
"Never actually"
"Well i can promise this wont be the last time" she smiles and closes her eyes, i wrap my arms around her and she buries her face in my neck and soon her breaths slow and shes asleep, as i myself fall into slumber i can feel what i have been hoping for all night, Sif finally relaxes underneath me.
